Back to the Mets

I am a bad blogger. I have almost two dozen posts in various states of doneness I need to finish, I've got two videos I need to edit and post and a couple more I need to record, I've got a pile of packages I need to send and countless wantlists to pore through. So last night instead of doing all this stuff I watched the Braves-Future Stars game online until it rained out*, hassled some innocent souls on Twitter for a while and then watched the Angry Video Game Nerd until I was forced to go to sleep. All after leaving you stuck with a meme post. Bad blogger! Bad, bad blogger. As penance, here's a Met:

This is no ordinary oddball Met. Sure, it looks like a typical unlicensed card from the early '90s. No logos, a busy design that looks like clip art in MSPaint, way too many colors. The painting of HoJo is a nice touch as you normally only get generic photos on these things. So what's so special about this card?

It's a card from the Metz Baking Company of Sioux City, Iowa. That's right, it's a Metz Met. Which amuses me to no end.

(hey, I told you I was a bad blogger, you should listen next time)

* I've seen exactly two preseason games this year, both were rained out. I'm cursed. Good thing I don't have cable or The Braves would never finish a game all year.

They are still on Peachtree, but only about 40 games or so. their broadcast deal is a disaster. It sucks when I live in Atlanta and I can see every Cub game on TV but not even a quarter of Braves games. Can't even buy MLB.TV because of the stupid blackout rules.

My original crappy neglected blog what I'm trying to resurrect this year

Want Lists

Note on the Blogroll

If you have a blog, and it ain't on here, LET ME KNOW! There are a lot of good blogs I'm missing out on. I'm also very forgetful and sometimes forget to put it on the list even if I do find a good one. If your blog is about cards or trading or sports in general I'll fit it in, but don't try to sneak your blog about politics or cats or crop rotation in the 14th century on here.
